Abstract: Recently, there were many disasters that led to large numbers of human victims. Identification is important not only to analyze the cause of death, but also to provide psychological tranquility for the families with certainty of the victim identity. Tooth is resistant to high temperature due to its less organic tissue, therefore, it is very helpful in the identification of the victim on fire. Dental examination is an accurate and easily done method for the identification of a dead victim. This study was aimed to obtain the profile of dental examination in the identification of the dead victims at the Forensic and Medicolegal Department, Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado, from 2010 through 2015. This was a retrospective study. The result showed that there were 378 deaths in that period. There were 8 dead victims with dental examination; one of them had no identity. Conclusion: Most dead victims with dental examination at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado had their identities.

Abstrak: Beberapa tahun terakhir ini banyak kejadian bencana yang menyebabkan jumlah korban manusia yang besar. Proses identifikasi menjadi penting bukan hanya untuk menganalisis penyebab suatu kematian, namun juga upaya untuk memberikan ketenangan psikologis pada keluarga dengan adanya kepastian identitas korban. Gigi memiliki ketahanan terhadap temperatur yang tinggi sehingga sangat bermanfaat dalam identifikasi pada korban terbakar. Hal ini disebabkan sedikitnya jaringan organik yang dikandungnya. Pemeriksaan gigi dalam pengenalan jenazah merupakan metode yang akurat dan mudah dilakukan.
